(\partial)/(\partial y)(x^2+xy^4)

\frac{\partial}{\partial y} (x^{2} + x y^{4})

4 x y^{3}

Solution steps

\frac{\partial}{\partial y} (x^{2} + x y^{4})

Treat

x

as a constant

Apply the Sum/Difference Rule:

(f \pm g)^{'} = f^{'} \pm g^{'}

= \frac{\partial}{\partial y} (x^{2}) + \frac{\partial}{\partial y} (x y^{4})

\frac{\partial}{\partial y} (x^{2}) = 0

\frac{\partial}{\partial y} (x y^{4}) = 4 x y^{3}

= 0 + 4 x y^{3}

Simplify

= 4 x y^{3}
